Middletown’s
Complete Streets Committee is working to make our city’s streets safer and more
“friendly” to all users – including walkers, cyclists, and users of public
transportation. For this purpose, we are
organizing a “traffic count” event on September 17 to document the current
number of motor vehicles or bicyclists and pedestrians at a few key locations.
This documentation is required to secure funding for future projects.
We need
volunteers who could spend 1 hour and 15 minutes, either near the Stop and Shop
on Saybrook Road, or at Macdonough School. The task is to count (using a form
and clipboard, provided) all cars, trucks, walkers, bicyclists who enter a
specific intersection during the given time period. 2 volunteers will be at each location during
each time slot -- 1 to count motor vehicles and 1 to count other users.
To help,
please call 860-398-3771 or visit http://www.thejonahcenter.org/mailform.php
to send us a message.
